OPTIMIZING

Expedited Shipping Service

Your shipment is urgent, and it needs to get to the destination RIGHT NOW!

My journey with TLI started over 15 years ago, and even then, I was routing expedited air freight, cargo vans, sprinters, hot-shots, even chartering planes. Some shippers want options, perhaps to compare a guaranteed LTL rate vs a truckload team, while others just want it there as quick as possible.

At TLI we excel at expedited freight shipping solutions, so ship it TLI!

Expedite Load FAQ

What is expedited shipping?

Expedited shipping is a faster delivery service that focuses on quickly transporting and delivering cargo & freight. It's designed to meet urgent and time-sensitive shipment needs, ensuring that shipper's freight reaches the destination faster than regular shipping options.


How fast can you deliver my shipment?

Shippers often inquire about the specific transit time for expedited freight. TLI can provide you multiple options through various mode types, i.e. Air (14 hours), Truckload Team (26 hours), LTL Guarantee (3 days). Shippers want to know how quickly the carrier can pick up their goods and deliver them to the destination. Understanding the speed of the expedited shipping service helps shippers plan and meet their tight timelines.


Are There Additional Costs for Expedited Shipping?

Shippers often ask about the pricing structure for expedited freight services, including whether there are additional charges for the faster delivery speed. Understanding the cost implications prior to booking allows shippers to evaluate the value of expedited shipping against their budget constraints. Typically the greater the time crunch, the more money it takes to lock-down reliable carrier capacity. If a production line is going to run out of raw material however, the compromise we can provide is expediting part of the shipment while running the remaining material through the LTL network or a dedicated truckload.


Modes of Transportation


Description Common Equipment
Less-Than-Truckload (LTL) Less-than-Truckload (LTL) means that the shipment does not take up the full available cpacity of a trailer. These shipments generally weigh no more than 20,000 pounds. LTL carriers have series of terminals that offload the freight until the destination. Dry Vans, Straight Trucks, Liftgate Trucks
Volume LTL Volume LTL rates are consistent with LTL shipments, but are shipments more than 5,000 lbs or more than 12 linear feet of a trailer. Certain low density shipments may also trigger standard LTL rates to be invalid and a volume rate must be used. Dry Vans, Straight Trucks
Partial Truckload Partial truckload is that sweet spot between less than truckload (LTL) and full truckload. (It is also called “volume LTL” by some carriers who offer it.) When your shipment is too big for LTL but too small to fill a full truckload, chances are you've got a perfect partial truckload shipment on your hands. Dry Vans, Flatbeds
Truckload Truckload allows shippers to have access to the entire capacity of the trailer. These shipments typically go from point A to point B with no transloading. Dry Van, Flatbed, Refrigerated, Specialty
Expedite Expedites are specialized carriers that pick up and deliver as soon as possible. Expedites include sprinter vans, straight trucks, team drivers, and possibly air shipping. Sprinter Vans, Straight Trucks, Teams, Air
LCL or FCL International shipments are done through exports and imports. These shipments generally require more information. 20' or 40' Containers
